Fans of "The Avengers" will surely enjoy seeing this...a replica of the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier.

As you can see in the video, it's definitely not a toy. The guy made it on a very large scale, able to float comfortably on the water without sinking, and fly through the air with the greatest of ease. It's really amazing!

Hopefully, Marvel will take notice that this can be done (and done well!) and will develop these to sell before "Avengers 2" is released.

That's better than any model airplane (or copter). The model shows that it's possible for something designed like the Helicarrier to fly, at least in theory. Generating enough thrust is probably impossible, though.

That's pretty impressive, I notice that when it takes off, one of the propellers (rear left I think) is not working, or at least, it's not creating turbulence on the surface of the water! I take this to mean that it could be 25% heaver and still fly, if all propellers are working.

dgabbor hatin ass, where yours at? did you build one? is this a common technology frequently used in our modern world? last I checked planes still had two wings and copters have 4 propellers. Pretty marvelous to me.
